A TAOIST IN RURAL ILLINOIS

About the Book

This book is a personal journey of the author to find a faith which would give him meaning to both his life and an understanding of life beyond just existing day to day. Along his life's journey he experienced different religions. While he found them fascinating, they did not help fulfill his desire to feel that there was something beyond oneself and being grounded in rigid dogma. It was by happenstance that he came across Taoism from people who became a part of his life when he needed help the most. Their acceptance of him and their kindness and generosity changed his perception of people and of life as a whole. During all that time they asked for nothing of him in return. This act of not asking for the author to join their faith convinced Mr. Nardini that this was the faith he had been searching for. Mr. Nardini has taken this faith back to his native Illinois.
